I sell the 1 oz. beeswax bars at a couple markets that keep a basket near the counter. I sell to them at 50 cents per bar and they sell them for a dollar. So I get 8 dollars per pound for my wax, have something other than honey for my markets to sell, and they are happy with the markup. If I sell them at a weekend market, I sell them myself for a dollar a bar, making 16 dollars per pound of wax. Certainly selling wax as end-use products (bars, candles, figurines, etc.) makes the most money if you have the outlets, time, or ability to sell yourself. Selling it in bulk to most places nets only 2-4 dollars per pound.
You can sell it for $4.00 a pound plus shipping cost on E bay easy. We get that for even recycled drawn comb that is dark. Of course we let people know it is not cosmitic grade stuff. :mrgreen: Al
Neither is any of the other stuff..... :rolling: Just change the label....it can be if you really wanted it to be.... :thumbsup: Ok, Ok...just joking. It's like the honey guy that waits for the customer on the phone to say what kind of honey he wants before he slaps the label on..... :hi:
what I would do is find someone to make foundation out of it.if it has no chem's its worth lot more then 4.00 lb. I have sold mine for as much as 10.00 lb. but like to run most into new foundation on my own wax mill. Don
$12/lb is well worth your effort, since you'll likely have to crush and strain the honey to get the wax. You can also add the "$1 per 1 oz bar." Making most folks see that a 1lb bar is a deal. The folks I sell to use it for different applications, and most want the pounders.
i sell my wax in one ounce bars for 2.00 each with no problem. most of it goes to people who sew or make there own bullets. with a couple of people using it to cst jewelry. The one thing I got going for me is I have no other keepers around this area that sells there wax
